    Very nice new young owners. Delicious. I had the best shrimp and grits I've ever had anywhere…read more Reasonable prices. This place should take takeoff. Don't miss it.

    Gene's Country Store is great…read more Before reading this review, there's something you should know about me. I love taking the back roads when traveling and I love stopping at small country stores. When I took my kids to Global Wildlife recently this store was right by a turn and I knew I had to stop. Since we were in a hurry to make a certain tour, I executed a verbal contract with my children and had them agree to allow me to stop after our tour. Gene's is a typical country gas station. Outside are two old style pumps. If you have only pumped fuel in an urban environment, you may not know how to use that type of pump. Just remember that the handle is on the side, and the piece that holds it in place must be rotated towards you to activate the pump. Inside the store is small, but has a large variety of goods. Since it is probably the nearest store to many people, there was a good selection of household items as well as traditional convenience store products. But none of that interested me when I saw what was in the coolers. Along the far side wall were coolers stocked with smoked sausage, hogs head cheese, tasso and stuffed chickens. I was woefully unprepared since I didn't have a cooler, but lucked out when I saw a Styrofoam cooler for sale. IO picked up sausage, tasso and a block of hogs head cheese and the cashier through in the ice for free. The sausage and tasso became part of a spectacular chicken, sausage and tasso gumbo and I haven't yet tried the head cheese. The lady working the counter was very friendly and helpful. She was also very observant since despite our best efforts to blend in, she knew we weren't locals. At some country stores that would have been a negative, but not here. She treated us like we were members of her family. If you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend this country store.

    Market Max is the closest gas station to the Bogue Chitto State Park. It is also the first gas…read morestation you encounter when entering the Town of Franklinton AKA The Fair City. The station has plenty of pumps, but is somewhat difficult to exit as it is in a curve in the roadway. OK. I could do like a lot of elites and just make that the end of my review. But I like to read my own words so I will expound a bit before clicking that little red post button at the bottom right of this page. I ended up at this station as a result of my failure to plan. I knew I was driving around to explore and should have fueled up earlier, but I got sidetracked finding a cemetery. After that detour I realized I was getting into low fuel territory. My Jeep keeps me apprised of how many miles I have till empty, but as I quickly learned, at some point it just says low fuel. This warning came on right as I was about to turn in to the state park so I knew I had better find a station quickly. Market Max was the closest place, but at around six miles away, I was a wee bit afraid I would learn how hard it is to push a Jeep in Louisiana hill country. Luckily for me, six miles is within low fuel warning range and I quickly filled up. This station is obviously very popular since it is one of the few places in the area. That meant a unique cross section of humanity was fueling at the same time as me. I saw bikers, cowboys, hippies, rednecks, old folks and one giant lummox. The cool thing was that despite all of the unique people, not once did I feel out of place. In summary, if you're around Franklinton and need gas, stop here.
